Planning for the future in Liscarroll

MEMBERS of the local community in Liscarroll have been issued with an open invitation to become part of an initiative that will give them a voice in plans for the future development of the village and its hinterlands.

The process of drawing up a dedicated community plan for the area will commence next Tuesday evening (March 18) at 8pm in the local community centre, with the first in a series of three monthly meetings. The other two meetings will take place on April 9 and May 7.

Community Council spokesperson Tim Brosnan said that all are welcome to come along and contribute to the development of the plan.

“Through the development of a socio-economic plan, our community will benefit from a clear roadmap as to what are our aims and objectives over the next three years and what we need to do to achieve these goals,” said Mr Brosnan.

He said some of these benefits would include bringing the community together, the development of a shared vision, information gathering and the improvement of local communication channels.

“Your contribution will be very important in ensuring that everybody is represented in the community and the plan works for all. There will be representatives from Ballyhoura Development and other facilitators who will be running the event in conjunction with the Community Council,” said Mr Brosnan.

Meanwhile, the Community Council has signed up for the Annual Spring Clean and refuse bags, gloves and hi-vis vests are available.

Anyone wishing to avail of these or planning to organise a clean up of your area/stretch of road please contact liscarroll.cc@gmail.com or Tim Brosnan on 087 626 7488.
